Many of her followers have noticed her new look by commenting with, "Abby you lost so much weight, good for you," along with, "Keep up the good work Abby you look great."

Meanwhile, Miller recently made a shocking confession in a new interview about her life before she was one of the most controversial figures on the small screen.

According to The Huffington Post UK, Miller says that there are "two sides to every story" when it comes to rumors of how she's supposedly "attacked" her dancers.

She told the site, "What you don't see on the show is the laughter. The kids and I are united, and we're laughing all the time at the producers. You don't see the fun. I have spent the greater part of my life in a hotel room with seven or eight kids, looking after everyone, sorting out fights, wiping noses, handing out towels, not having a clean towel left for me. The only difference...now I have my own room and my own towel."
